The Philosophy of the Upanishads by Paul Deussen Pdf

The Hindu scriptures the Upanishads are, according to German scholar PAUL DEUSSEN (1845-1919), the culminating point of the Indian doctrine of the universe, an achievement that had been reached even before the arrival of the Buddha. In this work-originally published in German in 1906 and translated into English two years later-Deussen explores the place of the Upanishads in the literature of the Veda and explains the theology, cosmology, and psychology of that holy book. A landmark for East-West cross-cultural scholarship, The Philosophy of the Upanishads helped create the European understanding of the mind and heart of India, a philosophical and cultural endeavor that consumed both academics and armchair truth-seekers of the day. Today, it is still essential reading for anyone wishing to obtain a deeper knowledge of Indian spiritual wisdom.

The Essentials of Hinduism by Trilochan Sastry Pdf

Hinduism is an ancient religion, philosophy and way of life. Unlike other great religions that are based on a small set of books, there are hundreds of texts in Hinduism, most of which are very voluminous. They span not merely centuries, but millennia. And most importantly, these ancient scriptures are all in Sanskrit which many do not know. Therefore for a beginner with an interest in Hinduism it is a daunting task as you don't know where to start such a study. In The Essentials of Hinduism, Trilochan Sastry unpacks all the ancient texts from the Vedas to the epics covering the entire range of scriptures and everything you need to know about them in an easy-to-read and accessible way making it of special interest to Hindus and those from other religions and nations, and even those who are agnostic or atheistic.

Classical Indian Metaphysics by Stephen H. Phillips Pdf

"Although many books deal with different aspects of Indian philosophy, no work until now has been exclusively devoted to a thorough, systematic, and critical treatment of this debate. The style throughout is clear and analytical, and translations are faithful and elegant. Philosophers, whether Indian or Western, seriously interested in the idealist-realist debate will find this work most rewarding. Excellent bibliography and most useful index. Highly recommended". -- Choice

World Religions by Casey Howard Pdf

Religion is any cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, world views, texts, sanctified places, ethics, or organizations, that relate humanity to the supernatural or transcendental. Religions relate humanity to what anthropologist Clifford Geertz has referred to as a cosmic "e;order of existence"e;. However, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion. World Religions examines the often conflicting theories and interpretations of spiritual and historical matters and provides a basic understanding of the world's religious diversity. This book is a commendable endeavour to present the essence of all the major religions of the world under one cover in a simple and lucid form. An ideal work for a general reader who wants to have firsthand knowledge about world religions. The book Introduction to World Religions promotes a better understanding of the religions of the world, their similarities and history of amicable co-existence. It emphasizes better understanding and amicable co-existence of all religions.

The Hare Krishna Movement by Edwin Bryant,Maria Ekstrand Pdf

Dancing and chanting with their shaven heads and saffron robes, Hare Krishnas presented the most visible face of any of the eastern religions transplanted to the West during the sixties and seventies. Yet few people know much about them. This comprehensive study includes more than twenty contributions from members, ex-members, and academics who have followed the Hare Krishna movement for years. Since the death of its founder, the movement, also known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), has experienced debates over the roles of authority, heresy, and dissent, which have led to the development of several splinter movements. There is a growing women's rights movement and a highly publicized child abuse scandal. Providing a privileged look at the people and issues shaping ISKCON, this volume also offers insight into the complex factors surrounding the emergence of religious traditions, including early Christianity, as well as a glimpse of the original seeds and the germinating stages of a religious tradition putting down roots in foreign soil.
